There were other points of interest in Slim Dugan; his feet, for instance, were small as the feet of a girl, accentuated by the long, narrow riding boots, and his hands seemed to be pulled out to a great and unnecessary length. They made up for it by their narrowness. His exact opposite was Marty Cardiff, chunky, fat, it seemed, until one noted the roll and bulge of the muscles at the shoulders.
A pile of money had appeared by magic before Terry. "I came to work for money," laughed Terry, "not take it away." "I always lose at this game," sighed Joe Pollard. The door opened, and Phil Marvin and Slim Dugan came back, talking and laughing together. "What d'you know about that?" Pollard exclaimed softly. "She guessed right. She always does! Oughta be a man, with a brain like she's got.
Many natives had caught sight of him, and at last the tales reached a little circle of trackers and hunters in camp on a distant range of hills. They did not work for Dugan Sahib, for Dugan Sahib was dead long since. They were a determined little group, and one night they sat and talked softly over their fire.
W. A. Hobbs, well known as Mayor of Henley, was Quartermaster, and 'Bob' Abraham the Transport Officer. Regimental Sergeant-Major Douglas and Regimental Quartermaster-Sergeant Hedges were the senior warrant officers. Higher up a new Brigadier in the person of General Dugan arrived and held command for a short while.
All the badinage was good-natured, which was sure proof that the Quakers had not arrived at anything like real appreciation of the Rube. They were accustomed to observe the trying out of many youngsters, of whom ninety-nine out of a hundred failed to make good. Dugan chopped at three strikes and slammed his bat down. Hucker hit a slow fly to Hoffer. Three men out on five pitched balls!
"I wint to McGuire's wake las' week. They gave him a dacint sind-off. No porther. An' himsilf looked natural, as fine a corpse as iver Gavin layed out. Gavin tould me so himsilf. He was as proud iv McGuire as if he owned him. Fetched half th' town in to look at him, an' give ivry wan iv thim cards. He near frightened ol' man Dugan into a faint.
"Ye did not let thim loose in th' lake, Mike?" exclaimed the big mayor. "Ye did not let thim be so they could git away?" "No," said Toole. "No! They'll not git away, Dugan. We anchored thim fast." "Ye done good, Mike," said the big mayor.
But I think we have him checkmated. By night we ought to have the bulk of the treasure on board. Once we get it the Argos will show him her heels." Four bells sounded, six, eight. Dugan came down from the bridge to report to me. "Captain Blythe's party coming down to the beach, sir." Two of the men were carrying a large chest.
Terry, you damn meateater, git on down that hill!" Terry did not move, but Slim Dugan stirred uneasily, turned, and said: "It's up to you, chief. But I'll see this through sooner or later!" And not until then did Terry turn his horse and go down the hill without a backward look. There had been a profound reason behind the sudden turning of Terry Hollis's horse and his riding down the hill.
And if you were the President of the United States, instead of a senator, Mike Dugan would be a bigger man than you. "Understand? Nancy Nelson sees Mr. Gordon just as soon as the nurse says it's all right. You try to interfere and I'll call my friend up here!" The inner door opened and a white-capped nurse appeared. "Not so much talking, please!" she said, severely. "You are disturbing Mr. Gordon.
